Hi!

The attached patch replaces sprintf with snprintf and strncpy with strlcpy.

There are various cases where no NULL-terminated strings are guaranteed
and eventual possible overflows. This patch fixes them.

BTW: Since Xen kernel has its own string functions, can't we just remove
sprintf() and strncpy()? IMO, Xen should not inherit the historical C relicts.
